Im a player from the old days (tibia 7.4) and ive stopped playing tibia, because CipSoft dont know anything about usability (GUI)... If you look at the most MMORPGs outside, they all use a GUI thats nearly similar at the basics. Okay Tibia has a TradeWindow (after 7 years) but its also shit, because its to small and not realy usefull. Show someone Tibia who has played MMORPGs before and he will leave Tibia after 1 Minute, because 90% of new players dont understand how to play it. The FlashClient is nearly the same shit like the old client... okay you can custom it and push the same old windows inside the new client whereever you wont (wooohhoooo the biggest problem tibia allways had is solved!!!). I need to say i like the look of tibia (grafics) thats the biggest point for me, but i wont play Tibia as long CipSoft doesnt understand, that Leveling isnt the main-part of such a game for everyone. Before peoples start to level and play the game they need to understand it, and it will help the new players a lot, when they find a user-interface they know from the most other MMORPGs out there.
Remember, im talking from GUI and Usability, not the "unique" game content from CipSoft...
Sometimes i think, CipSoft hopes that all the Onlinegames with 500.000 Players and more are just closing there servers and all those players from there will play Tibia because there is no other choise ^^
